I wake up super early, Cupcake A Day has to have a good appearance when opening business. I know all about good appearances.

"Look good in front of man, he is a potential investor..."

"Act welcoming to this reporter, he is covering the dinner..."

"Be polite to this women, she is the head of our new restaurant..."

"Look professional in front of this crowd, they are all new employees...."

I choose some dark, ripped skinny jeans and a white long sleeve top, with brown boots.

I quickly brush my hair and fishtail it, throwing on some white fake perl earrings and my moms necklace, I don't go a day without it.

I pause for five seconds, then hear the door pop open. My friends pretty much come and go as they please in my house. My dad isn't home much, so it can get a bit lonely.

"Hi Graceful!" I chirp.

"Hi Austyn, what's up?"

"Just," I twirl a big golden lock around my finger. "Nervous."

"Don't be! Everyone will love them!"

"Okay..." I say biting my lip. I get super nervous when lots of people talk to me. I just don't want to mess up.

"Let's load em up!" I take my boxes, and tupperwares, and platters and load them up into the car. All my pretty little cupcake babies are ready for the world.

But am I?

We drive humming and singing to some of my favorite American songs. I never quite got a grasp on music in other languages or by non American singers. Can't help it, I am a proud American.

"You say what if I hurt you, you say what if I leave you
You say what if I find somebody else and I don't need you
What if this goes south, what if I mess you up
You say what if I break your heart in two then what

Well I hear you girl, I feel you girl but not so fast
Before you make your mind up I gotta ask

What if I was made for you and you were made for me
What if this is it, what if it's meant to be
What if I ain't one of them fools just playin' some game
What if I just pulled you close, what if I leaned in
And the stars line up and it's our last first kiss
What if one of these days baby I'd go and change your name
What if I loved all these what ifs away..."

I sing along to my new favorite country song.  Tapping my fingers along to the rest of the music, humming. I can honestly just picture singing Lauren Alaina's part.

"Ugh Austyn, can you stop being so good at stuff?" I laugh quietly.

"That is so not true, I can't dance, but you sure can." She blushes. "I can't even do the splits!"

"Hey! I tried to help you with that! You just got to push yourself."

"I would push myself and pull a muscle, then where would I be?"
